How To Best Audition For American Idol

By Tiens Tianshi


It's not easy realizing that you are striving to be a full-blown celebrity. Hoping to pull yourself from total oblivion and making it big as a singer is one of the most difficult components of the music business, and American Idol has provided untold numbers of everyday people with a means to try to realize their ultimate goals. Several would-be singers are drawn to American Idol because they realize how hard it is to get into the music industry. The difficulty for the majority of people who audition is to know how to properly audition for the show, so they don't look like they are total idiots.

Your first step should always be picking the ideal song. This doesn't imply you should run out and learn an entirely new style of singing. You will want to find a song that is comfortable for you, by an artist who you enjoy, and a song style that you have the ability to sing well. For example, a number of singers are not able to perform low tones as well. You should make sure that the song you choose suits your specific vocal range appropriately before committing to perform it during the audition.

Deciding on the amount of makeup and jewelry to use is important too. While many men will not put on make-up, there are rather large quantities of people who start looking towards some kind of facial make-up for no other reason than to help them get noticed during their auditions. This strategy is seldom be accepted by the judges. Most of the time this will actually get you crossed out of the audition with the judges before you even start to sing. The reason for this is because you are creating a rather questionable impression before even singing, and typically this is not a good impression.

Attire is another critical tip - make certain that you are dressed appropriately. While you certainly don't want to appear totally mundane and plain, you also do not want to look like the freak who was let out at night for Halloween, either. If you have ever seen American Idol, you have no doubt observed that those who dress exceedingly crazy are almost never sent to Hollywood. The mere appearance of their outfits is often sufficient to distract the Idol judges from any singing skills they may have, and doing so will make sure that you have a short-lived singing career, also.

In picking the sound and getting yourself ready for the audition, you must seek out a good singing coach to assist you. The money you commit to a singing trainer will be well worth the price, since a professional will be assisting you get prepared. Many people auditioning for American Idol incorrectly believe that they are great singers without any training. While this may be accurate for a small number of those who audition, the majority of people who audition need, at the very least, a bit of training to be ready for the audition. Working with a good vocal coach will ensure you get the best preparation possible, and ensure a professional approach.

A final suggestion is to truly listen to the opinion of people around you before going to audition. American Idol is actually searching for the top singers in the US; they don't want an individual who sounds the same as everyone else, or who cannot truly sing. Understand where your talents lie in singing, and know what your weakness is. Reducing your weakness and capitalizing on your potential is vital to the success that you need. Make sure you find out how you sound when signing without music before going to an audition.

Although often overlooked, it is very critical to spend time getting ready for an audition. This means improving your singing voice, as well as your appearance and attitude. Getting all aspects right will ensure that you leave a positive impression on the judges, instead of being laughed at by all of America. Making the effort to plan your approach will repay in the end. And, lastly, be certain to listen to and act on the comments offered by the judges
